it was almost worth getting kicked out, er, 'removed' just for the unbelievable story aspect of it. 'I joined group therapy to work on my problem with social rejection... and I got kicked out!'
I think it will be better. The problem then was (1) I was just too depressed to connect with people (2) I wasn't open to the idea that my certainty about other members feelings toward me could just possibly be my own projection. Oh, and (3) one time I had an angry reaction to something someone said and walked out 10 minutes before the end of the session. I don't seem to blow up like that anymore. I think now I could actually stay in my seat and say I'm feeling a lot of anger right now.
It sure brought up a lot of stuff for me. I think it will be better now. My therapist thinks I'm ready. She thinks I might benefit from relationships with some of the group members. I want to learn to connect with people, and there's nobody else to practice on right now.
